You're 100% correct. However the issues of finding good CSW insttruction was never discussed or brought up.

Had Cracky' said do BJJ because it much harder to find real qualified CSW I would have agreed and this argument never would have happened.

Instead Cracky chose a line of logic that kept failing in a comedic fashion.

Such as Paulson's lack of BJJ even though he's been training in it since 1988, was one of the pioneers in mixing it sucessfully with other arts and is a BJJ BB.

He constantly ignores my statment that CSW is not about grappling but MMA and is not in competition with BJJ.

A good CSW course has a better transition game with striking and takedowns than you avwerage BJJ class because that's what it fouces on. Much like BJJ having a better pure grappling game because that's what ti foucuses on.

As Father Dog stated many of the Top MMA fighters in the world seek him out for training and questioning Paulson's ability on that is stupid.

Cracky asked me to name any champions who train in CSW and I did.

Then he backed out by saying Sherk doesn't count because of his prior wrestling.

And Barnett doesn't count because he's only the #3 heavy weight in the world behinf Fedor and Cro Cop

Seriously I don't think I need to point out all the fallacy's behind his statement.

The fact is Cracky set the criteria once again thinking he had me and got owned.

Just SO ALL THE BJJ FANS KNOW

BJJ > CSW for grappling

There are many BJJ BB's and browns who compete in MMA and can teach it very well (because they've cross trained and added on stuff)

CSW is NOT competition for BJJ and that goos CSW with good BJJ is an awesome combination

Yeah, I'm certainly not saying that CSW sucks, just that I wish there were more quality controls. Actually, I was sort of just trying to ignore the whining nature of the thread, but it appears that I failed.
